    Antico Double Seal

    Uploaded by

    Double mechanical seals are recommended for pumping toxic or hazardous liquids in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, where single seals could leak these dangerous materials. Double seals use a pressurized thermosyphon pot with a barrier fluid to circulate between the two seals. This prevents the pumped liquid from leaking even if one seal fails. Double seals can last five times longer than single seals in harsh environments, safely sealing corrosive or toxic liquids without expensive alloy materials. They typically leak less than 10 parts per million of fluid, while single seals may leak between 10-1000 ppm and standard gland packings can leak over 1000 ppm.

    Double Mechanical Seals - the solution for Organic Compounds

    Why Double Mechanical Seals?


    ANTICO KNS Series - lined pumps are used for pumping liquids
    posing environmental and health hazards typically used in
    chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In such applications,
    conventional single mechanical seals are not recommended
    since liquids handled are highly toxic, hazardous and are at
    elevated temperatures.
    In such services, double mechanical seals with a pressurised
    thermosyphon pot circulating a barrier fluid are used. The barrier
    fluid recirculates through the seal by heat convection generated
    as the pump shaft rotates through the seal. The barrier fluid in the
    pot is forced into the seal through the bottom line as the hot barrier
    fluid leaves the seal through the top line back into the pot. This
    arrangement will allow the seal to vent and ensure that the
    passages are full of fluid.
    The pot has a cooling coil which needs to be connected to chilled
    water allowing barrier fluid to cool before re-entering the seal. The
    pot is pressurised with the help of an inert gas like nitrogen. Our Flowserve double ROTT seal
    pump seal design has a built-in pumping ring to enhance
    convection. This pumping arrangement is very necessary
    whenever oil is used as the barrier fluid because of oil's low
    specific heat and poor conductivity. Water is one of the best barrier
    fluid because of its high specific heat and good conductivity.

    There are several advantages of using double seal over the single
    seal arrangement. The thermosyphon pot feeding the double seal
    is maintained at higher pressure than the stuffing box so if either
    seal fails, the barrier fluid would leak instead of the pumped fluid.
    Single seal failures allow pumped fluids to leak out in the
    atmosphere. Double seals can have five times the life of a single
    seal in severe environments. Also, the metal inner seal parts are
    never exposed to the process media so; toxic, hazardous and
    corrosive liquids are easily sealed without a need for expensive
    metallurgy.

    The following will give an idea of approximate leakage rate for


    various sealing arrangements:

    Gland Packing >1000 ppm


    Single Mechanical Seal 10 - 1000 ppm
    Double Mechanical Seal <10 ppm
    Sealless 0 ppm
